Now I know what you’re thinking… White Potatoes? Seriously? Doesn’t everyone know that Sweet Potatoes have tons more macronutrients and fiber, blah blah blah… I’m afraid you’ve been lied to.

The truth is that potatoes actually have a higher satiety index than a lot of foods that most people consider to be ‘good for you,’ like:

beans
lentils
nuts
brown rice
sweet potatoes
Granted, the way potatoes are usually prepared (fried in oil or covered in sour cream), does lead to making them a whole lot more calorically dense, so make sure to prepare them with as little additional fat as possible and you’ll be just fine.
